progress was very satisfactory and
everything running smoothly. The

Since Mr.. Ames left the tunnel II was

having worked off their enthusiasm
In celebrating the Fourth.
The present condition of affairs is
thus described by Mr.. P. Bishop. who
is In the employ Of the contractors,
Larson & Keefe, and who is at present
visiting Butte. On the north side the
tunnel has been driven in to depth
Of two hundred and eighty-five feet,
and they are timbering up close. The
formation is mostly soft. though there
often occur streaks Of hard matter,
from two to twenty feet In width.
The soft matter. however, is greatly
In excess of the hard. There are
about eighty.five men at work on the
north end, and they will average
about five feet progress daily.
There are obout seventy-five work.
men now engaged on the south side
Of the tunnel. A heading ten feet
high and sixteen feet wide has been
run In thirty-sIx feet, and the force Il
now engaged In taking up the bench.
The approach on the south side has
been very heavy, and the formation
much harder than on the north end
When the bench on which work !,
progressing now on the south end hal
been taken up progress will be much
faster and will probably average fiv,
feet day also, making one who'll
move along at the rate of ten feet pc
day. The whole length Of the tunne

THE PARK STAGE ROBBERY.

huuitionhi Fdfticuiafs VI inc AuhiF.
On the evening of July 4th, as the
last coach of the Wakefield Tranporta-
tion company was vending its way
up the Gardener river to Mammoth
Hot Springs, 1t was held up by two
highwaymen at point In the road
known as Eagles Nest. Here the
coach was stopped and the passengers,
two gentlemen add three lady tour
lists, made to get out and hold up their
hands. They were searched by the
highwaymen and relieved Of q check
for considerable sum and about SIG
10 money. A purse containing over
$500 In the inside pocket of one of the
gentlemen was overlooked. After the
search was concluded one of the des-
peradoes held bis pistol between ihe
heads Of the two gentlemen passen.
gers and fired it in the air. The pow
der bnrned their faces and the shot
greatly frightened the ladies. All
this occurred about II o'clock and
should be warning to the railroad
company that IL is extremely danger
ous to run their trains 30 that tourists
must travel this piece of mountain
road 10 the night time by stage. The
highwaymen effected their escape,
and 1t 10 not known who they were.
Little booty was secured and nc
damage was done, excepting that they
badly frightened the horses and caused
them nearly TO upset the coaches
The soldiers have gone In pursuit, but
NJ yet the robbers have not been cap
tuIed.
1t did not pay the robbers as well o.
would have been expected, when 1t ID
taken into consideration that the stage
was loaded With tourists. 1t is be
lieved they only got $25. All efforts
thus far TO capture the two men who
made this bold move have proven
fruitless. II is not known who they
were or from what direction they cam,
and went.
